Mark Thumidus, an officer of the Pompilia Aerospace Forces, went missing beyond the edge of the Oikumene. Foreign intelligence has lost its feet and doesn’t know: to search further or to bury it in absentia? Mark's uncle, a traitor to his homeland and former legate Gaius Thumidus, is planning a deadly expedition. Mark's father, energy engineer Julius Thumidus, comes into conflict with the imperial security service for his son's sake. The Council of Antis, giants of space, is looking for a way to step into the mysterious Blood without getting their feet dirty. And far from them, on a planet called Astlantis, a small detachment under the command of the non-commissioned centurion Knut is waging its war. The wolf, baring his fangs, leads the thinned pack. Every step is a trap. Every step is an attempt to escape the flags. "Wolf" is the second book of the new trilogy by H. L. Oldie, "Savages of the Ecumene." This is a continuation of the famous cycle begun by the novels “Ecumene” and “The City and the World”. Book trailer for this book
